Methadone: Methadone Facts

Question: Methadone withdrawl...?

(Posted by: stevye on 2010-02-26 09:13:43)

My husband and I just got off methadone's... It's been a week for me and I still feel like shit. I only took a 10mg. a day and that only started in the last year. For two years I only swallowed a half! My hubby on the other hand has taken ALOT in a day for the past six years. I figured my with drawl would be fairly quick but I still feel hell after a week. I've been doing research and they all say that someone who has taken a lot of these pills needs assistance of some kind. My husband is freakin' out! The researches also say it can last up to years to get past the with drawls!!! I don't have time for that! Who really knows how long methadone with drawls are? And because I took far less than my hubby will my pain last years too? I'm worried about him and don't know what I could do to help him and help myself. On top of keeping it cool in front of two children. Any help would be appreciated

There is no "how long ". For some it can be over and done in a few days for others a few weeks, but EVENTUALLY the feeling crappy and the craving WILL fade. This is a time when you both need support by people that have been there and done that, do you know of a group nearby? If not, go to this site, they can REALLY help you: na.org/ Good luck, hang tough and be strong, coming out the other side will make your whole life so much better.

Go to the nearest rehab center, granny.
